OUR "CHRISTMAS BOX’ OF > PRESENTS. On January Ist wo will distribute 81,000 among our subscribers. From September Ist to January Ist we put the name of every subscril>cr Wee ived in a box. On the latter date we shake «p the box thoroughly. A hole is cut in it. One of our weekly agents, in the presence of others —draws out a name. That name gets SSOO, the box is then .shaken again, and another name drawn. That name gets S2OO, and so on through the list. Now you ought to subscribe for the paper without expecting to get one of the presents. Pay for it, for itself, just as you hare always done. From reading the paper you get your money’s worth, and more for your money than any other paper gives you. Be satisfied with that. Then if you get the SSOO, or the S2OO or even one of the $5 presents, take it with our best wishes and our Christmas greet ings! Os course we do not pretend that every snb •crilier will get a present. Not one in every hundred will get one. But every subscriber will have an equal chance. The box will have the name of every suitscriber sent in be fore January Ist and no other names. Three agents from different states will shake the box •nd will draw out a name while the others hold it. You will have just exactly the same chance every other subscriber has. Some per sons will get every prize. It may just as well be yon as any one else. We do claim this. We furnish you the big gest and best paper that is printed. We furnish it cheaper than any other paper. We give yon besides an equal chance with every other sub scriber in SI,OOO in gobi distributed as presents. No other paper does this. So, if you like our paper as well as any other, take it, for besides the paper you have an interest in our “Christ mas box," which no other paper gives you. But if you do not like our paper as well as ■rune other paper, t ike that paper and drop ©urs, for you may not get one of our presents .nd then you would lie dissatisfied. Take the paper solely for the papers sake,and if you get • present, you will be just that much hair pier. ' ATLANTA, GA., NOVEMBER 15, 1887. The < otton Movement. The New York Financial Chronicle In its weekly review of the cotton market, says that for the week ending last Friday night, the total receipts have reached 301,600 bales against 289,174 bales last week, 294,- 034 bales the previous week and 271,799 bales three weeks since, making the total receipts since the first of September, 1887, •> bswL. .>, H bnlco /ox the same period of 1886; showing an in crease since September 1, 1887, of 451,329 bales.

Some •pecula tlte short mtere-t which had been made, mainly on Memphis account, under the lucre favorable reports forward'd from that point. was quickly covered, and active boy inc for the rise took place, carrying prices sip 30 points from the lowest figures of Friday last.

Farming In Ohio and In Georgia. We print this week the first of a series of letters on the comparative profits of farming in Ohio and Georgia. These letters will be five in number arid will be worth their weight in gold. They are written by Mr. W. Glessner, of Americus, Ga., who for merly lived in Ohio. He is able therefore to write intelligently of the farming system of both states. I Every farmer, north and south, should | read tin se letters. We pledge our word that they will be worth a year's subscription to any one who has a patch of ground and who wants to make money on the farm! Country Rained Men. A writer in the New York Mail and Ex press, in mentioning the success that Bill Nye has achieved in the metropolis, calls attention to the fact that New York, in all departments of business, is practically man aged by men who are not New Yo.ikers or, to put it more broadly, by men who were not raised in a city. The truth of the matter is, New York is no exception that holds good in all parts of the republic. The American farmer is the great recruiting ground of the cities, and the most successful men in New York, as in all other cities, are the men who have been bred in the country. The writer in the Mail and Express de scribes New York as a countryman's para dise, and says that Greenwood cemetery is the only place where the original New Yorkers find peace and rest. He remarks, also, that the native of New York city is a very weak vessel. It is not the New Yorker's fault at all, but the fault of the conditions by which he is surrounded. The man who succeeds In this life must be blessed with tolerable health, and he must have that indescribable experience which can only be acquired in the country, or <n a country town. New York has no advantage over other cities in this respect, flic country raised boy will be found to be invariably on top. . . .. Why I'arsoiiß Joined the Anarchists. From first to last Parsons has been the most interesting figure in the whole gang of Chicago anarchists. He is the only southerner, the only Amer ican among them. lie is equally ready with his tongue and his pen, and, unlike many revolutionary speakers and writers, he has shown himself to be full of pluck and de termination. People have been at a loss to account for this young man's connection with the an archists, and various explanations have been suggested. It is thought by many that Parsons’s choice of a wife is at the bottom of his troubles. Before he left Texas he mar ried a <luiL-r.>n«<l woman of mixed blood. This marriage shocked the better <>>«.«.. <a society, and the pair found it necessary to seek a home in the northwest. In Chicago Parsons ami his wife found that they could not never hope to rise in the social scale. Mrs. Parsons felt this keenly, and her hus band sympathized with her. In their des peration they turned to the anarchists. Among these daring spirits there was at. least social equality. Color, rank and pre vious condition of servitude did not count. Spies, Fielden and the others did not mind the black current in Mrs. Parsons's veins, and tin y did not sneer at her husband for marrying her. The result is know n to everybody. The two outcasts felt grateful to their new friends, and entered heartily into their schemes. They saw in anarchy the only means of over turning society and sweeping away the prej udices of caste. They gave themselves up to the work of bringing about a new order of things, an ideal commune, a socialistic re public composed of a universal brotherhood. This dream ended in a disastrous crash, the two misguided reformers went down in the wreck. Two more fiery souls never staked their all upon the hazard of a single cast. Tin y are worthy of each other. If Parsons has played the role of a tiger at bay, his brown-skinned wife has shown herself a tigress. No matter how w icked and foolish they may have been, they have certainly displayed a courage worthy of a better cause. Beflneiuent to Metropolitan Jonenallem.

What a shining example this is for the press ami people of the country. Never should a New York editor in future indulge in raillery at the expense of his uncultured and untutored brother of the west. —• “The Dangerous Classes." Some very able writers fall into a grave error when they discuss the social problems of the day. They take it for granted that “the dangerous classes” embrace only the poor and criminal element. This is all wrong. The poor die and make no sign. The criminals drift to the penitentiary. In the long run they do so ciety very little harm. Our real dangerous classes are composed of the bad and misguided men whose wealth, position and methods enable them to con trol the legislation and shape the morals of the country. The men who secure class legislation, encourage monopoly, abridge the rights of citizens, and play the hypo crite, are our worst public enemies. It is difficult to attack the dangerous classes when they are rich and respectable, and pose as moral reformers. They manage to elevate hypocrisy, oppression and whole sale robbery into a system having the sem blance of morality and good government, and their victims do not know how to de fend themselves. Anarchy is a very poor remedy for this evil. The only sensible remedy is for men to know their rights and maintain them. In a country like ours the citizens who arc de termined to preserve their rights under the constitution arc not compelled to inaugu rate internecine wars. They do not have to rally around the red flag. They have only to stand up to their convictions at the ballot box and all will be well. Naturally this suggests the thought that the enemies of the people make it their business to cor rupt the ballot. This, in itself, is one of the greatest evils that we have to contend with, but we have overcome it in the past, and we can do it again when the popular conscience is aroused. The prospect is not altogether gloomy. One of these days a vital question will bring the people to the front. Unpurchasable men will cover the earth with a snowstorm of freemen's ballots, and the dangerous classes w ill be sent, to the rear. It is not necessary to shoot these enemies of the people. Ballots are worth more than bul lets, but they must be intelligent and honest ballots. This idea is worth all the thought that can be given to it, because it is tile cor ner stone of genuine democracy. —. • ——_ The New Phonograph anti Other Things. Recently, in his hours of ease, Mr. Thomas Edison, who has been for many years engaged in paying the patent office and the patent lawyers large sums of money, has taken a turn on his phonograph, the wonderful speaking machine. When Edison accidentally discovered the phonograph some years ago, it was regarded as nothing more than a toy. It was a curi osity, but a clumsy one. It was carried from town to town as a sort of show. One of them came to Atlanta in charge of a con sumptive fretn the north, and made some remarks in a squeaking tin voice about an old woman that had •‘chestnuts in her i 1-a-p-p!” It was a queer concern altogether, and made old people feel like some of their children were speaking to them through tlie red mouth of a sausage-stuffer. Mr. Edt -on says that the operation of his commercial phonograph is simplicity itself ami can not fail, and he expects it to be part of the equipment in every business office. According to the inventor, the mer chant or clerk who wishes tofsend a litter l.as only to set the machine in motion, talk in his natural voice and at the usual rate of sp‘"-I into the receiver. When lie fin ished the sheet or “phonogram,” it is ready to send through the mails, where his cor r« spondent places it in a jihonograph and griudsout the message much mure distinctly and accurately than messages can be sent over the telephone. Mr. Edison says that one tremendous ad vantage is that the message may be repeated a thousand times if m-. ssary. Moreover, print' rs may -t up Copy from the phono grSpb, and j>< "pii: may enjoy concerts by means of the same Invention, and what is on< c siizid is prio ri'ally in<b struetible.

Professor Mansill and several other weather prophets are responsible for the announcement that November will be an unusually stormy month. In the north and w est cold waves and snow storms will run through the greater part of the month. The disturbing dates are fixed at from tlie 7th to the 11th, tlie 13th to the 20th, the 25th and 26th, and the 29th and 30th. For the country at large we are told that the temperature will show great extremes, varying from moist, warm winds and heavy rains to cutting blasts, sharp floats and deep snow fails. There will be no mild Indian summer foolishness about this month. With the exception us a few days, it will be rough and bleak. But there is one ray of hope. The weather prophets are a shabby lot of pre tenders. About half of their guess-work always fails to pan out. Perhaps they will be mistaken this time. We may have a few cold days, but a month of very severe weather just now in this region is too much out of tlie ordinary course of things to be expected. Why Some People Arc Poor. It. is useless for the anarchists, commu nists ami other so-called reformers to com plain of the unequal distribution of the world’s wealth. The good things of life are necessarily limited, and an equal division of them among the inhabitants of the earth would leave everybody in a very uncomfortable fix. A recent article on the subject in the Forum puts the case as follows: To come down, however, from generalities to statements a little more definite, we may observe that Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, a gentleman who has devoted some years to the study of indus trial ‘t.itistics, and whose familiarity with facts en titles his opinion to the highest considciation, has tarnished us with an estimate which throws, for own country at least, a very vivid light upon the point in question. As the result of bi- i tquiries, he concludes that the annual production of all the in dustries of the I'nited States cannot exceed KOI per head of the whole population, which would give a total of ?12,C0'1.000,000. An equal distribution oi this product would give to each family of five persons, in a population of sixty millions, or twelve million families, a distributive share ot 81,000 per annum. Now, suppose that one-third of these families, or groups of five, manage to secure an average share of 82,000 per annum, the remaing two-thirds would be reduced to an average of SSOO only. Suppose one half of this third to be fortunate enough or skillful enough to increase their average to §3,000, the re maining half continuing at 52.0J0, the average share of the two-thirds would fall to §250, or #SO only per head per annum. Such a division is not worth fighting for, and our communists are not in earnest when they advocate it. Tlie real purpose of the anarchists is to get hold of other people’s property, and if they succeeded in obtaining it the stronger and bolder leaders would at once proceed to take the lion's share, leav ing their dupes to make the best of it. Out of such anarchy it would be impossible for a socialistic republic to arise, but in its place there would be a military despotism. In a state of anarchy, under a despotism or under a free government, poverty must exist, and it must be the lot of a large num ber of people for all time to come. Tlie explanation given by the writer in the Forum disposes of the whole business. Some people must always be poor, simply because the world's product is not enough when distributed to make everybody rich, or even comfortable. —<_ 3lr. Joseph Klngsherry on Colts. “A colt can bo raised to two and a half years,” said Mr. Joseph Kingsberry, "for 850 and will sell for SIOO to $125. I have raised colts for less, that did bring $200.” “What would it cost the average fanner?” “Not over 850. By working a brood mare instead of a mule he can get a colt every year with tlie loss of a mouth of the mare’s work. By making a meadow out of wasted low laud and vutling in a little rye his colt will cost him almost nothing. When the farmer has two or three colts he will put grass in the odd comers of his farm, thing you know I he has a good stock farm. Every tenant in Georgia ought to raise a colt every year, and ■ certainly every farmer ought. The colt shows ' in Georgia do as much good as fairs. Fino stal lions. st >ut mares and droves of colts mean prosperity and independence.” Kicking Against Fate. The Hon. John C. New, of Indiana, is recognized as one of tlie foremost of repub lican national leaders. As chairman of the republican state committee of Indiana, and as one of the shrewdest republican managers in the last two national republican conven tion*. he has achieved a prominence in party ranks which entitles his opinion in party •Hairs to consideration. An InfamouM Traffic. It Is a waste of time to moralize over the ■ti.ii ' '.t..iy of London and Paris while New Yoi k continues to outstrip them in wick- A year or to ago it was found that a man (...med II- Leon was engaged in the work of exporting young women to Panama. His hod was to adt<Tti»e for chambermaid*, I ;")veincs>et, liumekeepers, uni other '.i."i .s of workers. He offered them easy ' j' ritlont anti good salaries in Panama, but tl.' victims found up 'it their arrival at their new home that they were prisoners held for the tib st p.trjios'.s. In a strange land, sur !■ undid l y thirty thousand of De Lcssep's . laborers, they wore helpless, and few were i fortunate enough to escape. Occasionally a determined girl secured 1 her liberty and returned home, and in this way DeL« ou's infamy came to light. The villian was tried, convicted and sent to prison. This, however, has not broken up the business. Only the other day Mrs. Annie Heller returned and had Adolph Silverstein ; arrested on the charge of enticing her to I Panama, where she was at once placed in a house of bad repute. _ There is nothing worse than this tn any of the Pall Mail Gazette revelations of the traffic in young girls in London. There is nothing worse in Zola’s realistic stories of ; Parisian depravity. Now that some of the i facts have been made public it is to be hoped that New York will suppress her DeLeons and Silvcr.steins. Such monsters are not fit to live. _ Sonic Forgotten Orplionfl* The children of the Chicago anarchists occupy the greater share of public attention just now. Their pictures are running through tlie newspapers. People are send ing them presents, and there is a disposition everywhere to cry over them because they are about to be made orphans. It is a sad business all the way through, and these innocent children deserve our pity; but we are in danger of forgetting other sorrowing children who have known the woes of orphanage for some time. When the exploded their bomb in the Haymarket, sixty dead and wounded men were thrown to the ground in one red heap. Nothing is said about the orphans of these victims. Many of them are in the depths of poverty. They are helpless and hopeless. What have these little sufferers done to deserve this neglect? They have the very highest claim upon popular sympathy, but they shiver and go hungry, while the brats of the anarchists are overwhelmed with kind attentions. There is something wrong somewhere. There may be something very picturesque and attractive about the children of a gang of murderers, but those who have been rendered fatherless by (he Haymarket bomb should not be forgotten. Send Them Both Down. The southerners invasion of Ohio, headed by Governor Gordon, of Georgia, is to be reinforced by Governor “Bob" Taylor of Tennessee. That’s all right. Next year wc may send Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, and ex-Governor Hawley, of Con necticut, down south, whore they have once before done good service.—Philadelphia News. By all means let the two distinguished republican leaders come down. They will not have opportunity for effective work in Georgia until a year hence, but at that time they can indulge their forensic inclination to any extent they desire. Georgia will vote for a governor and also on a national ticket next fall, and in order to give the two prominent leaders an idea of the work that it is proposed to cut out for them this way, we will state that Geor gia’s democratic majority is about 100,000 votes in quiet elections, but when any ex traordinary pressuie is brought to bear that majority readily increases to much larger figures. Indeed it has never been found out ex actly what is the democratic strength of Georgia and in order to arrive at a definite conclusion about it, we hope Messrs. Beaver and Hawley will come this way next fall. It is quite an easy matter to bring out our usual majority of a hundred thousand, but with popular sentiment so much one way, and witli the disadvantage of being forced to contend against republican inactivity, it is rather difficult to get beyond these dis tressingly small figures. No doubt the democratic committee of the state will be glad to co-operate with the managers of the Beaver-Hawley combination to get these two well known leaders to turn their faces southward. We should like to arrive at a proper estimate of our true strength and their coming would enable us to do so. There is no reason why our 100,000 majority should not show its real strength of 150,000, and this can be easily obtained if the republicans can be induced to carry out the above proposition. The Cotton Crop. In our special telegrams yesterday, a dis tinguished firm of London cotton men cabled to their correspondents in New York that the estimates of the cotton crop put forth by tiie agricultural bureau, and the Cotton World of New Orleans, are ridiculous. We should think that such a cablegram, cover ing matters of which the London firm know about as much as they do of the cotton crop in the moon, would cause a considerable ripple of humor in this country, but itseems to have been received quite seriously in New York, and our correspondents there send it to us with a degree of solemnity that is quite impressive. Nevertheless, the figures on which the American estimates are based, arc quite as accurate as it. is possible for such figures to be. 'I hey are not guesses, They are made up from returns, which, in one way and an other, cover the entire cotton-growing re gion; and they arc so accurate t hat those which arc gathered by the Lotton World have come to bo accepted as authoritative. It hen, therefore, a London firm, which knows not hing, whatever, of the crop condi tions in I Ids country, is moved to cable its correspondents that the estimates are ridicu lous, we may fairly take advantage of the occasion to smile a few smiles. The Ameri can estimates appear Io have carried some degree of conviction with them, for no sooner were they made public than the price of cotton went up very rapidly. This fact shows a very sensitive louditlon of the market. There is another fa< I Io im taken Into consideration. Ihe receipts up to this time have been very heavy, and these heavy re ceipts have materially lowered prices. There are nearly four million bales of cotton still ■ in the hands of producers in all probability. I As the New Orleans I’lciiynnfl ■ n i, an ad I vance of one cent a pound Is equivalent t,,,, * gain of the dollars a bah 1 . Tills being so, ■ the recent advance In prh’i s must menu a | gain of more than fifteen million dollars to I southern holdem. We observe that tin' New 1 m k I'lmim lai I Chronicle is inclined to dispute the i l| 1 mates of the agricultural bun nil and the Cotton orld.

John Brown is evidently his father’s son. ! In his way old John Brown was an anarchist.’ j If he had succeeded in stirring up an insur-J rcction among the southern slaves the result! would have been anarchy of the worst kind.* From their own standpoint the present? brood of anarchists are a gang of Jolm ; Browns. They want to destroy the existing I order of things, and put the bottom rail on top. Their programme agrees with that of their Harper’s Ferry hero. It embraces murder, arson and robbery. It is admitted by all good people that Vir ginia did exactly right in hanging the first; John Brown, and the same class of people! will applaud the action of Illinois in hang-; ing the latter crop of John Browns. f Just here a startling question presents it self. Will the executions at Chicago strengthen the anarchists, as the executioik at Charleston strengthened the followers of John Brown? We think not. The case is> different. Our American workingmen take no stock in a theory which holds them to be slaves. Every American workingman is a sovereign. He makes and unmakes hiss rulers. lie is a part of the government.' lie owns his home and can own it when ho takes a notion. Such men constitute a. standing army when there is any danger of anarchy, and they will always be able to out' vote and out fight the disturbers of our peace and the enemies of our institutions. But our feeling of security should not' make us err on the side of toleration. The precedent established at Charleston and fol lowed at Chicago must be our rule of ac tion. We must smite anarchy whenever it shows its head, and hang its followers when ever they commit a capital crime. A little severity now will save us no end of trouble in the future. EDITORIAL POSTSCRIPT. The republicans will sing their swan song next year. Herr Most will most likely be the next anarchist candidate for the gallows. John L. Sullivan was met by a special tug on his arrival at Liverpool, and was given a grand reception by his admirers in tlie city. Solicitor General Jenks, in an interview with a Pittsburg reporter, says that tlie presi dent has determined to appoint Secretary La mar to succeed Hie late Justice Woods, and that Postmaster General Vilas will then b© appointed as secretary of the interior. Carter Harrison went through Tokio, ; Japan, a city of a million inhabitants, without seeing a single drunken man. He asked a bishop lor an explanation of such phenomenal sobriety, and was told that whenever a Japan ese got drunk lie at cnee went to sleep. The Right Honorable Joseph Chamber lain, England’s commissioner on the fisheries! question, is dismaying the dudes of New A'ork by the brilliancy and faultlessness of his dress, lie is said to be the best dressed man in New York, and as lie walks down Broadway with his blooming bontennierre and swell costume, ho is said to fairly dazzle even the dudes. Pret-’ ty good for a man oi fifty-one years. All the papers have different portraits ot the Chicago anarchists. If each one is a like ness, then tlie anarchists are very versatile as to the make-up of their features. The great want of the country is a good; literary weekly at one dollar a year, and the New Yorker, just started by Barhelles & Co., in New York, promises to fill tlie bill. The Epoch objects to the smoking of five, cent cigars in the presence of ladies. Doubtless the offenders would be willing to smoke ten cent cigars if somebody would furnish them. An off hand editorial utterance in these columns to the effect that “it takes men to make a city,” appears to strike some of ourj contemporaries as a brand-new idea. But they are indorsing it, all the same. Mrs. Cleveland watched with the great est interest tlie result of the recent New York election. She did not return to Oak Y’iew, her country home, during the day, but remained at the white house to get the news, and re tired when she was satisfied of the success of the democracy. No wonder she should have been interested; it meant four years more in tlie white house for herself and Grover. DIVIDING OUR PROFITS. And Giving Our Readers Some Big Christ* in as Presents.
